Cicadas

 I heard the Cicadas singing(or crying) for the first time yesterday morning.  That means the rainy season is officially over, and the unbearable humidity and heat has arrived!  Really, yesterday when I walked in the sun, I thought, "It is hot."

Because of the heat and strong sunlight, I changed my usual Sunday routine.  Instead of walking about two and a half hours in the early afternoon like I always do, from last week I decided to split it up, and walk about one and a half hours in the early morning, and then another one and a half hours in the late afternoon.  That way, I don't have to walk when the sun is the strongest and the temperatures are the highest.  And as I expected, last Sunday when I walked, it was much more pleasant.  I am a smart guy, I know.

Anyway, I will talk more about the heat, the humidity, and how to stay cool later.

Below are some photos from Mr. S's retirement trip to Hawaii.  Mr. S told me the weather was beautiful, the food was OK, and speaking English was no problem! Oh yeah, he also said "I saw many girls wearing bikinis!"  Happy Retirement Mr. S!! :)
